This is the README file for dvi2ps, version 4.0  
This version of dvi2ps is an updated version of dvi3ps 3.1 merged
by Kevin. The updates in this version includes the port to UNIX System V,
re-implementation of Chinese TeX support, and face-lifting of built-in
Adobe font support.

The source for dvi2ps is contained (surprise) in the directory ./src.
Before compiling it, read the file ./src/Installation. Changes may have to
be made in the ./src/Makefile and the ./postscript/Makefile. Before 
installing it, you may also have to change ./Makefile. Once these changes
are made, you can carry out the automated part of the process with the commands:

make
make install
make veryclean

If you want to use the builtin fonts; there are two unautomated steps
to carry out, one required and one optional. The required step is that the
files in the directory ./tfm must be copied or moved to a location where
TeX and dvi2ps can both find them; i.e., to one of the directories specified
in ${TFMAREA} or the environment variable TEXFONTS. The optional step is to
use the information in ./inputs to produce a .fmt file which has preloaded
the builtin fonts.

If you plan to use Trevor Darrell's psfig/TeX to include graphics, you
should also print a hardcopy of his userguide. The automated steps should
have produced the postscript code. So, before running ``make veryclean'',

cd ./psfig/usrguide.
lpr ug.ps

You might also wish to read the advertisement in the file ./Features.

The subdirectories of the current directory are:

./bbfig		contains the source for Ned Batchelder's bbfig program,
	which gives a way to compute the bounding boxes of PostScript
	figures.

./doc		contains various forms of documentation, some of them more
	useful and more up-to-date than others. The manual page is up-to-date.

./inputs	contains various tools to modify the default fonts used
	by plain TeX.

./other		only contains a discussion of some other useful TeX-related
	programs.

./postscript	contains the PostScript prologue code needed to make dvi2ps
	work properly.

./psfig		contains the source and documentation for Trevor Darrell's
	psfig/TeX program to automate the inclusion of PostScript graphics
	in TeX documents.

./src		The source code for dvi2ps.

./styles	contains various LaTeX style files to make it easier to use
	builtin fonts with LaTeX.

./tfm		The tfm files for the builtin fonts.
